Comments:

I did the breast stroke again. I need to work on the crawl bad...

Thie swim actually took 16 minutes, but the 200 yard barefoot run is really a poor setup.
What would you do differently?:

Need new goggles mine aren't sealing against my face

Comments:

I prefer the traditional Sprint. this Swim -> Bike -> Run -> Bike -> Run i'm not so sure about. I would rather stay on my bike the full 12.8 I would hav avg 20mph easy Just when I got in my groove, it was time to get off the bike. Assuming 20mph this cost me an est. 4:30 Easy
What would you do differently?:

Mount faster
Dismount without losing speed

Comments:

Run at least 7:30 miles Splitting up the run made this harder
What would you do differently?:

Run Fast of course
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Too many transitions, need to get better at staying mentally focused for a long period of time

Event comments:

I take a few things from this race

1. I took 4+ minutes off my time with 2 extra transitions
2. Transition Practice
3. I prefer the Swim -> Bike -> Run
4. Went from 221 overall to 84th overall
Next Tri Indian Springs June 23rd. I am shooting for 1:15 Beleive That!
